The Vanguard is designed for all applications where respirator protection is needed with the exception of fire use. It is CFR42, Part 84 NIOSH approved. Industrial users have been using the Vanguard SCBA for over 15 years because of its simple, low-maintenance design. Avon-ISI’s pressure reducer is a sealed unit and has option ports for future upgrades. The harness assembly is removable for quick cleaning and decontamination. The Universal Cylinder Band can be quickly adjusted for cylinder changes without the need for tools. Best of all, the Vanguard SCBA can be completely customized to meet specific needs.

When low cost and low maintenance is a purchasing factor, the Avon-ISI Frontier is an easy to use SCBA that far exceeds industrial standards while offering high flow rates. It offers a simple, inexpensive design that is easy to use and has non-complicated components for ease of maintenance. The Frontier can accommodate air cylinders with durations of 30, 45 or 60 minutes with a quick release cylinder band for easy cylinder exchange. The positive pressure AirHood allows users with facial hair or glasses to enter an IDLH atmosphere and still comply with OSHA standards.
